Interdisciplinary Research:A Twilight Area in Indian Institutions

Daniel and Srivastava have aptly described the problems faced by expat Indian scientists opting to return to India after their research training and experience abroad. I agree with the authors that the Indian universities do not teach innovative and interdisciplinary courses at the Master's level, and there is lack of faculty positions to promote research guidance in interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary areas. The authors have also proposed globalized reverse migratory scientist recruitment initiative scheme for direct admission of eligible visiting Indian scientists from abroad and persons of Indian origin.
